Help Nenita pay for knee replacement surgery at Saint Anne Hospital

Nenita was diagnosed with a cleft palate needing repair in November. The surgeon at Saint Anne Hospital recommended knee replacement surgery, and She is scheduled for February. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $600, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $450 short. my mother has been in and out of Saint Anne Hospital since November. The doctors say a cleft palate needing repair will get worse without knee replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $600 is more than we can find. While we wait, Nenita struggles with daily life and can't drive. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. The recovery period is expected to take about 4 weeks. During that time Nenita won't be able to drive, so the costs keep growing. The money goes straight to the treatment bills, and I'll share the invoices as they're paid so you can see exactly what your gift did. Where the $450 goes: • Hospital stay (2 nights): $280 • Travel and lodging for the family: $45 • Physiotherapy sessions: $125 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Kathleen
